Box Shares Are Falling Wednesday: Here's Why
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Box Inc's shares are trading lower after the company reported Q2 earnings and issued weak guidance. Despite beating consensus estimates for Q2 revenue and earnings, the company's outlook for Q3 and full-year revenue and earnings fell short of estimates. Box also announced a $100 million expansion of its stock repurchase program. Following the earnings report, Keybanc and Oppenheimer maintained their ratings but Keybanc lowered its price target, while Craig-Hallum downgraded Box from Buy to Hold.
